your right and the offer is in my opinion a fair one.....all wilder has to do is win the fight against joshua and he holds all the aces and can dictate the money talks in the rematcn...after all its way above wilders highest purse and he has a shot at winning the undisputed world heavyweight title
The silence from Wilder and his team, is deafening

Got a link to the article? What you've stated is news to me.The recent Dibella interview was damning. It clear his side are not interested in making the fight next or maybe at all. They were so loud a vocal before, then when AJ was available to fight and an offer was made they went all quiet after the supposed counter offer that never came.
DiBella saying he's to busy promoting Charlo's next fight to deal with Hearn. But Hearn is promoting the Khan/Greco fight, the Jacobs/Sulecki and still found time to come up with an offer and also squeeze in time to meet them with in the US next week.
Dibella saying he will ignore the offer saying it was only an attempt at grandstanding and publicity is laughable in it's transparency. It was Wilder's team that made that offer public not Hearn. It was they who made this negotiation public.
But according to Dibella sending an email with a $12.5 mill offer isn't how you start a negotiation, really? Better tell Hearn and Higgins they did it wrong earlier this year when then were emailing each other offers.
It's clear as day now that Wilder's management do not want the fight. I won't say the same about Wilder himself, I believe he actually wants it, but again his handlers lack the faith in him to make meaningful fights.Comment

$12.5 million is already an excessive offer, not to mention a shot at multiple titles.I think his team have manage him poorly (Despite having 3 managers), he really should be in the position that Joshua is right now. That excuse about america have many other sports doesn't wash with me.
He is a HW boxer not a welterweight, and the fact that he took 10 years to step up doesn't help him neither. He had boxers that he could have pursue or fought during his time to elevate his name but he did for one reason or the other.
I don't expect AJ to do all the work for Wilder to sweep up the benefits. That offer is more than enough for him if he is serious, hopefully people would put more pressure on him to have a bit more ambition.
If he wins, he calls the shots in the rematch. Yet he's been acting like he's not sure of winning the fight. He's already cashing out.
Funny part here if he wins would he be able to offer AJ the same amount if it's done in the US?
I don't even think he'll make $12.5 mil being the A-side in the US.
Cotto vs Canelo was far bigger, yet Miguel's purse was only $15 mil and Alvarez's was only $5 mil.
And we have these relatively unknown heavyweights.
I'll be LMAO at Wilder's defenders justifying an offer of $3 mil to Joshua.
Kills me.Last edited by rickJen; 04-21-2018, 12:43 PM.Comment
